DANGER
VAPORIZATION
• Do not operate the pump at low or zero flow conditions, or under any circumstances that
causes the pumped liquid to vaporize.
• Personnel injury and equipment damage could result from the high temperature and
pressures created if the pumping liquid vaporizes.
• Low or zero flow conditions must be avoided under any circumstances for any significant
period of time (more than 1 minute) due to the risk of heat/vaporisation of pumped fluid in
the casing that may cause subsequent explosion.
DANGER
THERMAL SHOCK
Do not feed very hot liquid into a cold pump or very cold liquid into a hot pump. Thermal
shock may cause damage to the internal components and rupture the pump casing.
DANGER
LIFTING DEVICE SAFETY
• Lifting devices of adequate capacity must be used whenever they are required.
• Safe workshop practices must be applied during all assembly and maintenance work.
• Personnel must never work under suspended loads.
DANGER
DANGER
Unapproved parts, unapproved pump construction, and misapplication (for example, foot
valves, non-OEM parts, worn/damaged/corroded/obsolete parts, mis-assembly, excess
pressure, unapproved fluids, etc.) may result in serious personal injury or death. Only use
supplied equipment for its intended purpose.
WARNING
SHARP EDGES
• Before handling, identify work parts that could be hazardous due to sharp edges. All
metal components must be considered to have sharp edges.
• Pump components can have sharp or jagged edges. Handle parts carefully, to prevent
damage to slings or personal injury.
